Complications and ultra-thin models: two time-honoured Audemars Piguet specialties meet in the Royal Oak RD#2. It has taken five years to develop the new ultra-thin 5133 caliber with perpetual calendar.

The challenge has been to re-engineer a three-storey movement into a single level, making it ultra-thin while combining and re-arranging functions to boost ergonomy, efficiency and robustness. This patented system features a recordshattering 2.89 mm central rotor. At just 6.30 mm, the redesigned case shaves almost 2 mm off the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak RD#2 Ultra-Thin Perpetual replica watch, making the Royal Oak RD#2 the thinnest selfwinding perpetual calendar on the market today.

Technical Specifications:
The case, in platinum, measures 41mm x 6.3mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and it is water resistant to 20 meters.

The dial comes in a slate grey “grande tapisserie” pattern (a tradition for this icon and it is made in-house), with white lettering, except for the red 31. Its clean layout displays the day, date, month, leap year and moon phase. Everything is proportional and in the right place. It also shows the week, a rather unusual but quite practical feature, printed in a flange circling the dial.The applied hour markers are white gold. The gold “baton” hands feature luminescent material. The moon phase is simply incredible with extreme detailing and features a laser micro structured moon laid on a star-studded sky made of aventurine.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is built around the calibre 5134, just like its steel or gold siblings. This ultra-thin (4.31mm) automatic movement is 29.00 mm in diameter and boasts 40 hours of power reserve. Its balance has variable inertia blocks and runs at an unusual 19’800 vibration per hour.
